I know the above quote is not really a quote but you get the idea. I can see many people are not happy with the style of map I made. My intention was not to try and ruin the map. I too really like the Canada map gameplay (probably not as much as DiM). When the revamp started I wanted to try and make something different that had never been seen or done before. That is why I chose the earth, space, sun and moon. Plus this is probably the map I have spent the least amount of time on. I rushed at the end and I knew that if I won the community would tear me a new one on how "bad" it looked.This map looks ugly, it is a step backward, I don't like it, etc, etc
I understand what you mean about the earth and army circles.DiM wrote:the earth is blurry, the borders aren't true to the image behind them, the title is stupid in it's design, the army circles are horrible and the overall look is very unpleasant and unclear

I was as well, but our final decision was not to do a revote or anything of that nature. I am confident WidowMakers can transform his version into something we all would like.

Based on this style the map is a darker map. I wanted to go for a satellite style picture map.

I don't understand your issue with the borders. I took the current Canada map and overladed it on the globe. Some of the borders changed (NOT XML borders just graphical borders) because the current map was wrong. Such as the location of the mountains int he west.

Some people love the title and some hate it.

Well I was bound to make someone unhappy eventually. I have made or revamped 7 different maps. Circus Maximus(RV), Great Lakes, Indochina(RV), King Of The Mountains, Montreal(RV), Rail USA, 8 Thoughts and now Canada(currently being revamped).
Each map has a different and unique style. I have tried to not fall into the mold of one man, one map style.
So to my critics who say this map is bad, what could I do to make it better and still keep this style? There have already been some suggestions and I will work on those. As both DiM and mibi know, when you set out to break the rules (graphics, size, XML) you are going to make people mad. I set out to make this map different in every way than the original. I know we have a long way to go (no 32 minute quench here, huh DiM?) I just wanted everyone to know I will do my best and appreciate the support both positive and negative.
